ASUU Strike: FG, ASUU mum after another meeting The meeting was expected to lead to the call off of the strike but apparently ended without meeting that objective. 3 min read The federal government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) on Thursday declined to disclose the outcome of their meeting over the nine-month long strike by Nigerian university teachers. The meeting was expected to lead to the call off of the strike but apparently ended without meeting that objective. The closed-door meeting, held at the conference hall of the Ministry of Labour and Employment, was scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. but began at 5:20 p.m. and lasted until 8:18 p.m., with representatives of the parties refusing to brief the waiting journalists on its outcome.

FG to review labour laws to global standards

The Federal Government has announced that it has started plans to review the present labour laws of the country to boost it in line with the International Labour Organisation (ILO) standards. This was disclosed by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, in a meeting with the Deputy Chief Mission of the United States in Nigeria, Kathleen FitzGibbon, and Labour Attaché, Carolyn Parker. Ngige said that Nigeria was amending her labour laws to global standards and the review would be sent to the National Assembly. “We are amending our laws to become contemporaneous with what obtains globally. We have done a labour law review. We will send it to the parliament. ILO is assisting us. But we are doing what we can with our own small resources.
